Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is deep and profound, an ocean of every good thing, and it is known through the Word.
People rush about doing all sorts of things, pulled this way and that — but without the steadying Word, the heart stays lost and confused.
The One is a deep ocean of goodness, known through the Guru's Word.
Har gahir gambheer gunee gaheer — the One is deep, very deep, an ocean of every good quality. Gur kai sabad pachhaani-aa — the One is recognized through the Shabad, the Guru's Word.
Bhaa-ay doojai means the pull of "two-ness." It is a heart split between the One and a hundred other things. People do all kinds of deeds while pulled this way and that.
Bin sabdai ba-uraani-aa — without the Word, they go mad. The meaning is a heart that has lost its center and stays confused. No person is being condemned. Think of a spinning top. When it loses its center, it wobbles all over the table.
Have you ever been very busy and still felt lost inside?
